You have to click on the "mount" button in twrp and scroll down to the check box thay says "mount system read only" next to it and un-check it. Then you should be good

Accidently selected read only in TWRP how do I undo it???

So I was following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684 and when it came to the step to allow modification in twrp I had already goofed up and kept it read only. How do I change this. I cannot find the setting anywhere in twrp???

Reflashing did not work at first so I went to reboot and selected bootloader. It loaded up TWRP again and gave me the option! We are good! Thanks!

Could you please be more specific about how you got the option to reappear. I have the exact same issue. Thanks
Not sure if this will fix it or not... but I did the same thing when I first loaded twrp, I didnt allow system mods (or whatever it said) but in recovery if you go to Mount... theres a selection "Mount system partition read-only" that had a check and I unchecked it.
I am only assuming this corrects that issue... hopefully someone can come along and confirm.

I can confirm that unchecking that option solves this. I tried to flash a ROM update once and it gave me an error saying my system partition was read only, and after unchecking that option it flashed correctly.
The reason for having to run adb flash recovery.img (the TWRP custom recovery) is because you chose the read-only mode introduced in v2.8.7.0 of TWRP. It means that the stock recovery will overwrite it if you reboot without selecting keep modifications on that first screen. Tapping on the Keep Read Only button will keep it temporary, but swiping the blue arrows to the right (like I did in the video), will install TWRP permanently.

omg thank you so much, that was driving me mental.
can anyone confirm if this works? also, if i flash a new nightly via TWRP is CM going to overwrite the TWRP recovery? or I just have to wipe the cache and the update is done?

It will overwrite TWRP if you have the developer option checkmark to use CM Recovery. Go into Settings/Developer Options and UNcheck that box.

You should probably ask in the Galaxy S5 help section. That SM-G900p model is for Sprint.

Either
how you flashed in the first place, probably fastboot via PC?
or if it's still in your download folder, go to TWRP "install" and check install "image". Flash it TWRP (reinstall) from there, boot to bootloader and then go back to "recovery".
I use the 2nd method all the time to update to newer versions of TWRP.

That's basically what I said. But for this phone, you would want QUARK TWRP recovery – not hammerhead.
Latest QUARK TWRP:

(Use most recent date.)
yes, sorry for the wrong model
Ran into the same problem.
Made my device read only at the start up of TWRP by mistake.
Then I followed the advice by unticking the "mount system partition read only" option.
That's when the menu with the question came up again.
I swiped to the right to allow system modifications.
Rebooted into my phone.
Everything working fine phonewise.
Rebooted into bootloader.
Selected recovery.
Stock Recovery appears. :/
Any idea why stock recovery is returning despite having swiped right for allowing modifications on TWRP?

TWRP Asking for password. Please help. I've never set a password

TWRP is asking for password. I've never set a password. Please help me.
Try password as " password" , it may work !

Tell. Me exactly what u did..
Try : default_password if this doesn't work.. Then m sorry my friend u have to format full data..
Its asking for the encryption password. The default password is "default_password" (without the quotes) try that. And if doesn't work then enter Bootloader (fastboot mode) and enter the following commands into CMD.
Code:
fastboot format userdata
Code:
fastboot format cache
Code:
fastboot reboot
This will unencrypt your phone and you'll be able to boot/enter TWRP normally.
Please do note that you'll lose ALL of your data from the commands.
Also, I'm not sure about this but you also might need to flash TWRP again.

If you have set a pin as security try putting that in.

How is this possible?
Firstly, if u cannot enter into TWRP, then how did you flash the ROM?
Secondly, even if you somehow flashed the ROM how does it do away the password error ?? Did it replace the recovery? Recovery image is not usually included in custom ROMs.

I know right!?
I was running out of options. i thought why don't i flash the last rom that was running on this device. i can't explain how or why. I flashed the twrp again and than the rom. i can't explain but it installed the rom. It worked.
So you froobs can't read the dm-verity warning on TWRP page and just flash the one damn zip that prevents from this.
And the problem is in Kernel and firmware
I had trust in XDA-members. But the faith is gone.

Wait, were you able to get past the twrp password thing without formatting just by flashing the rom? Why did you have to flash twrp again before the rom? Did you do a clean flash or dirty flash? Your internal drive was not wiped?
My problem is basically that I was unable to get into my phone so I deleted the 5 gatekeeper/lockscreen keys from data/system. Now I can only see the wallpaper and a blank screen that doesn't allow me to do anything. It doesn't let me allow me to set a new pin. TWRP is asking me for a password that I never set. I've been trying to figure out how to access my data without formatting, but I'm running out of options too..

Maybe he used SuperSu to root? I dont' see a dm-verity zip for that. You have to use the bluspark TWRP posted above this reply and set your password in the ROM through another app or through the system settings in that case. I had the same problem. Also, I could have used "default_password" but I didn't know that until after I did all the fastboot flashing...
Or do you know of another zip SuperSu users can flash?
The password which its asking for is the one which is our lockscreen password
OxygenOS encryptes our devices with the password we enter on lockscreen so to decrypt just enter the same password

TWRP requires password out of nowhere

Just wanted to update my EX kernel with the kernel manager app, it reboots to TWRP and than requires password.
I've never set a password to TWRP and my PIN doesn't work. It also happened to my brother's 3T, that's so weird.
I would like to know if there is any solution that doesn't include factory reset or re-flashing TWRP.
Thanks from advanced, Lidor.
Update:
I tried to disable the PIN when you boot up the device. Now TWRP doesn't even work. It just shows the logo...
Guess I will have to re-flash TWRP... Just tell me if I am right.

Try reflash twrp to yr phone.
If you are on oxygen os twrp will take time to load (without pin enabled) as OOS uses f2fs format which is relatively newer format and allegedly considered better than more traditional ext4 format
So if twrp logo shows after booting in recovery then wait for sometime (can take upto 10 min)

I think because your phone is encrypted. The way the decryption is to format it in twrp. Wipe > Format Data then type yes.
Backup all files before the data format.

Noo, you have to just do it once and if you want to flash Oreo ROMs, use Oreo twrp. You need not format the data then.
What I noticed is that its showing up as 0mb because the device is still encrypted. In order to fix this boot up into the OS. Set a screen lock PIN or password. Make sure you save it as requiring password on startup. Then bootup into TWRP and it should ask you for your password to decrypt. Put in the correct password and your files should show up again.
Note : Got this answer also from @morphixxp

Then, downgrade to 3.0 by cofface, wipe your phone, upgrade to redwolf or twrp 3.x.

TWRP can't decrypt phone (Pie)

I recently formatted my G6, downloaded Pie from the motorola assistant, flashed everything and installed TWRP 3.3.1-0.
TWRP boots up fine, im able to flash anything (like magisk) but it refuses to decrypt the phone. It shows a screen to input a password or a pattern (depending on what i've configured) but no matter what I tried it just fails to decrypt with the "Decrypt took too long, killing process". So far I've tried
* Pattern
* Password
* Swipe
* All the previous combinations with "boot time pattern/password requirement" enabled/disabled.
I'd like to keep the phone encrypted and still use TWRP, so my question is, has someone managed to use TWRP with the G6? If its not possible, I'd like to disable it, although i've found no tutorials about it.
Thanks!
I fixed it by using the 64 bits version of twrp i think. You can try it i guess?
Where did you download it? twrp.me /motorola/motorolamotog6.html shows only one version avaialble.

I don't think what you're trying to do is possible.
Don't you need to wipe all the data anyway for the new rom?
Personally, I'd hit cancel, and wipe data entirely, which will obviously erase everything from any apps.
